Question Getting a stop code in windows 10 no matter what I do!

[Anon10845]

Ok so I have a PC that I have used for a wile now (about 2 months) and I had it powered down for a week when I was away and it was unplugged so its not a power surge. When I got back to start it up it would start normally but then windows gave me a stop code 0xc00021a I have tried almost everything please help there is nothing more that I can think of to do so please help me. I have a mac for a laptop that's what I'm writing this on just so you know so some recovery programs wont work. I am open to try anything at this point so send me your ideas! thank you!

Stop code 0xc00021a is due to a bad application, driver or your system registry is damaged.
If you have a System Restore point and recently installed a driver update then try that.
You may have to boot into Safe Mode then open a Command Prompt and use the following commands.

a) Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
b) Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
c) Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

When Dism is finished ,reboot the system.

If the above does not fix the issue then run "SFC /SCANNOW" without the quotation marks in an elevated command prompt.
This will interrogate your system 32 files for corruption and attempt a fix.

Try the above first and report back. Be patient as this trouble shoot can take time.

Try to boot into safe mode or use the repair your computer from the recovery menu.

Did you verify that all your BIOS settings are correct? Having it unplugged for a week means that it was relying on the CMOS battery to keep all the settings saved. If the battery was low/dead that would revert your settings to default. Other than that, start with a minimal boot and go from there.

Yes I whent and looked at my bios but the motherboard is only a month or two old so the cmos should be fine and I have tried avrything at this point anyone have any ideas cus I’m stuck at this point.

Reinstalling windows is bound to fix this issue, even though it may take awhile. I would backup any files on the drive and reinstall windows 10.
To backup files you could do the following:
Boot into a Ubuntu USB drive and copy some important files to the USB drive.
You also could put your HDD into another computer and copy the files you need.

Coincidentally i had an issue like 3 days ago that caused a BSOD while booting and i couldn't for the life of me find a workaround. I put my SSD into a laptop with a spare 2.5inch bay and copied my user folder to a usb hdd ~ 20gb. The user folder contains your desktop and anything save into your libraries ie: documents and pictures. After a reinstall of windows and formatting my boot drive it didn't ever give me the BSOD again. Keep in mind you need to reinstall all programs and drivers after copying your files back from your backup.
